Hopkins History Center Moving to Mainstreet: Get Involved In This Historic Move

Thanks to the generosity of Albert Pike Masonic Lodge members and the vision of Hopkins City leaders, the Hopkins Historical Society will be moving its museum into the former Lodge Building at 907 Mainstreet. The Hopkins Historical Society needs everyone’s help as the process begins. Find out more by viewing the Hopkins Highlights July 2016 (PDF) and consider donating.

Since 1972, the Hopkins Historical Society has been dedicated to preserving the history of the Hopkins community. They are a resource center of over 10,000 photographs depicting historical Hopkins including county fairs, the Raspberry Festival, schools and economic development. The Historical Society is also fortunate to have inherited, collected and preserved many Hopkins artifacts dating back to 1856 and local newspapers from the mid-1920's.

The Historical Society is a nonprofit organization that is supported by its members. They host many events throughout the year and publish a quarterly newsletter. For further information, please see the Historical Society website.
